Not every collector is so ruthless, and one of the microfinance companies' commissioned collectors is different. He was a man who spoke Mandarin with a slight Cantonese accent, and he asked on the phone, "Are you Xia Wei?" ”

"I'm Xia Wei, may I ask who you are?"

"I was entrusted by a credit company to collect money from you, why haven't you repaid for so long? Is something going on at home? ”

"Yes, the main reason is that my husband's company lacks funds to operate, and a project I cooperated with others stopped production due to lack of funds, and a lot of funds were pressed in, so there was also a problem with repayment." Xia Wei explained helplessly.

"Do you have any plans? If his company keeps doing this, what will you use to repay the loan? ”

Xia Wei said without thinking: "I will find a way to repay the loan, at present, my salary has been frozen, and the monthly salary has been returned to the court's account, only some basic living expenses are left, I will wait for this side to pay off, and then pay it back one by one, I will find something else to do, and then earn some money to repay." ”

"Have you got your marriage license?"

"We didn't get a license, but we all saw each other as family." Xia Wei explained with some embarrassment.

"Not married, legally, these debts have nothing to do with him, you have to bear legal responsibility, have you thought about it?" The other party reminded.

"I know, he can't help it, the company is in good condition, he will repay the loan." Xia Wei said with certainty.

"You trust him so much? Do you know him? You shouldn't be the original match with him, right? ”

"I know him very well as he is, but the company is having a hard time at the moment." Xia Wei said with certainty.

"Why do you say that?" The other party is still asking.

"He and I grew up together, we were classmates and each other's first love, and we didn't get together because of our parents' opposition. A few years ago, I got divorced, and later, I heard that his wife divorced him because she couldn't stand his long-term wandering. So, we came together again. Xia Wei still explained in the affirmative.

"Have you ever thought about suing him?" The man on the other end of the line asked again.

"No, he's my lover, why should I sue him?"

"He deceived you, and you won't tell you?"

"I know his situation, I won't sue him, I will bear anything I have." Xia Wei replied without thinking.

The man on the other end of the phone said sincerely: "I am very touched by your personality, but you also have to learn to protect yourself, listen to you, I feel that you are very cultivated, and you are also a person with affection and righteousness, as a man, I was moved by you." But the law is merciless, you have to think about it, and I am willing to do my best to help you, I hope you can be happy. ”

Xia Wei's tears of emotion were about to fall, and she said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, thank you so much, I will work hard to repay the loan." ”

Xia Wei originally hoped that Wang Tao would have some income by the end of the year, which could relieve the pressure of repayment. However, Wang Tao called her and told her that the company's funds were still in short supply, and it seemed that the repayment had to be solved by herself.

The end of the year has arrived, the unit has paid more than 10,000 yuan of performance salary, Xia Wei hurriedly went to repay some friends' money, one of which is a creditor who is a peer senior, has suffered from malignant tumors, and urgently needs money, this money must be returned to the old man as soon as possible. There are also a few friends, because they heard some people talk about Xia Wei's bank arrears, they are worried that Xia Wei will not be able to repay the debt, and they all speak fiercely. Xia Wei knew that only by paying them some of the interest she had agreed before could she discuss with them about the extension of the arrears.

Xia Wei repaid the year-end performance salary to these creditors respectively, and the bank's arrears have not yet been settled, so she can only come step by step like this, Xia Wei calculated.

It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there are fewer calls to collect money, and I feel that the bank is still quite humane, Xia Wei is very moved.

Xia Wei thinks that although she has no money for the New Year, she can also live a healthy and happy life.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Xia Wei bought some glutinous rice and glutinous rice flour, as well as a few catties of local traditional hand-pulled noodles, as well as sunflower seeds and peanuts......

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Tao's mobile phone was still turned off. Xia Wei knows that Wang Tao must have a hard time outside, and it is not easy for a company that has no money to operate to survive, she knows Wang Tao's difficulties and hardships. Think about it, although he has no money for the New Year, at least he can spend the New Year with his parents and brothers, but where Wang Tao is, he doesn't know, how did he celebrate the New Year? She didn't know, but she was sure he would get through it. Health and peace seem to be the only hope for a lover during the New Year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, I had a reunion dinner with my family, watched the Spring Festival Gala together, at midnight, the New Year's bell rang, and after a burst of firecrackers, it was a silent night.

After watching the Spring Festival Gala, Xia Wei walked alone in the quiet community, and the house she lived in was a three-story building built with her younger brothers twenty years ago, and the two younger brothers lived on the first and second floors respectively, and she lived on the third floor. The property rights of the house on the third floor went to the name of the ex-husband after the divorce. Although I am in the same neighborhood as my parents, it is still a four- or five-minute walk. Without the hassle of fireworks, I feel that the air outside is fresher and I can sleep better.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Wei was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and when she looked at the time on her mobile phone, it was already eight o'clock. She got up immediately, took out the rice wine basin covered in the quilt from the quilt on the sofa, opened the lid, and a thick and pure rice wine fragrance rushed to her face, in the nest in the middle of the basin, there was clear and transparent wine, and at the edge of the nest was soft sake lees, Xia Wei took out half a bowl of rice wine lees with a soup spoon, put it in the pot and added water to boil, and made a small lantern festival with glutinous rice flour, and put it in the boiling rice wine pot. After a while, a bowl of fragrant wine-brewed Lantern Festival was ready, Xia Wei ate the sweet and delicious wine-brewed Lantern Festival, and thought of Wang Tao in her heart, I don't know if he is doing well, is there any wine-brewed Lantern Festival to eat? With the concern and longing for her lover, and the cheerful music on the New Year's TV, Xia Wei finished the first delicious meal of the New Year.

The Spring Festival in 2015 is different from previous years is that there are fewer fireworks and firecrackers, the air is also particularly fresh, everyone who goes out to pay New Year's greetings has more happiness on their faces, and the younger brothers want to travel, so on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Wei and her younger brother and sister-in-law embarked on the road to Chuzhou, Anhui Province.

Out of the Second Bridge of the Yangtze River, there are endless woods on both sides of the road, and at the top of the trees, there are some small nests made by magpies, as if brought into childhood.

I remember the small mountain village of childhood, the magpie nest can be seen everywhere in front of the house and behind the house, whenever the magpie chirps non-stop, it is also the happiest time for the children, the little friends are under the tree next to the village house, playing hide and seek, playing house, hiding in the haystack separately, behind the big tree, sometimes they will climb the big tree, hide in the branches......

"Sister, look at the many magpie nests here." The younger brother and daughter-in-law excitedly pointed out the window.

The voice of the brother-in-law pulled Xia Wei's thoughts back into the car, with the direction of her finger, there were four or five magpie nests hanging high on the branches, with the car going away, the sight couldn't help but fall on a gray land, take a closer look, this gray turned out to be a barren and abandoned land, half a dozen tall straw stalks straight in the ground, Xia Wei hurriedly asked the brother and daughter-in-law of the Anhui mother's family: "This large piece of abandoned farmland is a pity, how can no one cultivate?" ”

Her brother-in-law told her: "The rural laborers have gone out to work, and the elderly and women in the family can't grow so much land at all, and they can only grow one crop of rice every year." ”

Xia Wei looked at the abandoned farmland on both sides of the road, and felt very uncomfortable, here, you can't see high-rise buildings, you can't see smoking chimneys, there are no traces of factories and mining enterprises, and there is more freshness, although it is rainy weather, but the air outside the car window is transparent, which can't help but make people think about it.

She remembered the small mountain village of her childhood, when the sky was blue, the water was green, the mountains were green, she was grazing in the fields, looking at the changing white clouds in the sky, singing songs, that scene, pile, all in front of her......

She still remembers one day a few years ago, the sky was suddenly gray, and she couldn't see the people on the other side of the road......

Dizzy, a violent brake sound woke Xia Wei, it turned out that he had reached the destination, because he was not familiar with the distance, his younger brother drove the car over, and when he reacted, he braked violently, fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Oh, it was at the fork in the road, and the younger brother drove into a road leading to the village and town, which was a simple dirt road with some sand, and the brother and daughter-in-law said that the sand was still just paved, and the last time they went home, it was still a dirt road. The car bumped on the dirt road for a while, and then drove into the village of the brother-in-law's mother's house, the road on both sides is still a large area of deserted land, the brother-in-law said that the young and middle-aged people in their village have gone out to work, there are only old people and children in the village, while talking, the car stopped in front of the brother-in-law's house, and has long heard the introduction of the brother-in-law, how capable her mother is, it is her mother who took her eldest brother to go out to work and do business, and the money earned returned to the village to build four buildings, and the brother-in-law and the father and the younger brother are doing farm work at home, When she and her younger brother were a little older, they all went out to work, and the building was usually empty, and it was only during the Chinese New Year that the whole family rushed home from all directions for the New Year.

Therefore, about the legend of her brother-in-law's family, Xia Wei has long wanted to go there to see, and this day has finally arrived.

The brother-in-law's house is an old-fashioned flat-roofed building, such a building is rare in southern Jiangsu, such a building, in their village is already very impressive, a rough cement floor is laid in front of the door, when the younger brothers' car is parked on the cement floor in front of the door, the outside of the car is already a large piece of mud, and at this time, I saw my brother-in-law's younger brother is carrying a load of water to the kitchen, and I asked to know, it turns out that there is no running water here, or in the well behind the house to draw water to eat, The well has a history of more than 100 years, it is this well that has nurtured several generations of people in this village, I immediately ran to the well to watch, only to see the wellhead carved with patterns, the water in the well is clear and transparent, my brother and daughter-in-law said that the water is still a little sweet, it is really a legendary village, a legendary village.

After lunch, my brother and daughter-in-law led a group of people to visit the nearby Egret Island, entered the park, the car drove in the mountains for more than ten minutes to a blue lake, the blue lake is surrounded by mountains, the legend says that this lake is a woman who misses her lost son, crying and tears all day long, it becomes this lake, and later people named this lake as Aiko Lake.

Here, the air is particularly fresh, the turquoise lake water, and there is no trace of pollution. People here would rather go away to work in other places to keep the clear water and blue sky, and if the local government is a little careful, this will be a paradise on earth.

This may be a question that everyone needs to reflect on, that is, how to keep the clear water and blue sky, and how to make the people rich, this is a big knowledge. But with your heart, everything will work out.

Mother told her children about Xia Wei's difficulties and hardships, and her mother said to Xia Wei's younger brother and sister-in-law: "Your sister is a dead-eyed person, as long as she is happy, we will stop interfering in her marriage, in order to support Wang Tao, she has not added new clothes for several years, you see that she is the same dress every New Year, it is difficult enough for her." ”

Xia Wei's younger brothers all listened to it in their ears and remembered it in their hearts.

Coming out of Lianzi Lake in the afternoon, the younger brothers and sisters-in-law were clamoring to go shopping, and the younger brothers and daughters-in-law picked up one piece of clothing after another for their sister to try on, but Xia Wei knew that she had no money in her pocket, and after trying it on, she said that it was not good-looking, or it was not suitable, and she prevaricated, and the brothers and daughters-in-law saw their sister's concerns, and they all said that they would pay for their sister to buy clothes, so that Xia Wei could try them on with confidence, but where was Xia Wei willing to let her brothers and daughters-in-law spend money, or prevaricated with unsatisfactory clothes.

When he got home, the younger brother was anxious: "Sister, I asked them to help you buy clothes, you can arrange a time for your brothers and daughters-in-law to accompany you to buy." ”

Xia Wei looked at her younger brother lovingly, she knew that it was not easy for her younger brother to run his own shop, how could she let them spend money, so she said: "I have received your wishes, I have clothes to wear, I don't need them." ”

The younger brother and daughter-in-law also had no way to take Xia Wei, if she wanted her sister to accept help, she could only take out the clothes she didn't wear and give them to her, so she rummaged through the cabinets and found all the clothes she couldn't wear, packed a big bag, and gave it to Xia Wei to try on. Xia Wei heard that it was a dress that her brother and daughter-in-law couldn't wear, so she happily accepted it.

In front of the fitting mirror, looking at the clothes I tried on, some of them couldn't feel the traces of wear, and a tear of happiness came out of my eyes.

During the Spring Festival, relatives and friends meet on April 4 to sweep the graves of the deceased ancestors, because this day is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late grandmother, and the uncle (grandmother's younger brother) said that since the death of his grandmother, he has not been to the grave of his grandmother, and he wants to take advantage of such a day to pay respects.
